I hear people talking about eyebrow shaping. Is this necessary and what would be your recommended method? I don't have a lot of money and someone suggested threading as it is cheaper than other options. What do you think?

I am definitely a big fan of eyebrows being a key part of your beauty regime - your eyebrows help to "frame" your face.

Women have been amazed at the difference well-shaped eyebrows can make to their appearance, some even looking like they've had a facelift.

Different methods:

*Tweezers - DIY or with a professional. I'd suggest getting your brows done by a professional for the first few times, that way you can get the right shape for your face, and then you can "maintain" them yourself at home. You may have to pop back to have them tidied up from time to time. IMPORTANT: Be careful not to pluck above the natural brow line, only the odd stray hair.
*Threading - this is a specialist technique using thread to pluck and shape the brows. My girlfriend and I had this done together - she was fine but my pain threshold isn't that flash and my eyes were watering and I couldn't wait for it to be finished. The results are worth it though.
*Waxing - like threading, this gives a flawless finish. Definitely leave this one to the professionals, you don't want to end up with no eyebrows.

There doesn't seem to be a cost difference between plucking, threading or waxing. From the ring around I did, prices vary from $20-26.

Finishing touch to accentuating your eyebrows
While you're at the beautician or hairstylist getting your eyebrows shaped, you can also get them tinted so you don't have to maintain them yourself. Or use eye shadow or a brow pencil to highlight them.

On my website, you will find a popular blog we wrote on How to Get Dazzling Eyebrows -- how to shape your brows, what shape will suit you, how to accentuate them using shadow or brow pencil, etc. Check it out.
